 THE DURHAM CAsE-THE CHURCH COMMITTEE ! ExcULPATE REV. MIR. GLAzEBRoRK. | ELIZABETH, N. J., Sept. 1.-The vestry ot \ St. Johns Episcopal church, of which the | Rev. Otis A. Glazebrook is the rector, met ] last night and heard the report of the com. mittee appointed to investigate the scandal | at Durham, Conn, involving the rector and 8 lady of the parish. The report was sub. stantially to the effect that the circumstan- i tial evidence in the case was against the | commission of the act charged, owing to the publicity of the place, it being in open view of one neighboring dwelling.
 One of the three boy accusers went with the committee to the cemetery and indicated ! where he stood when the alleged act was committed, but it was found that it would have been utterly impossible for him to see from this spot what he alleges he saw. Other evidence strongly in favor of the rector was also submitted. The vestry continued the committee, with instructions to investigate the case to the fullest extent. The members of the committee individually assert them selves as being firm in the belief of the inno- cence of the rector and in the determination to stand by him in securing a vindication. Bishop Scarborough, it is expected, will be here on Sunday to advise the vestry. Shall We Eat Meat or Not4 Everybody will tell you now in this season
